I’ve been pondering this word today because well, I personally […]

Today is our monthly DAWG (Day Alone With God) and I decided to read all the Richard Rohr I could get my hands on in this given period of time. I am not doing a good job getting through it. Every sentence is pretty much rocking my world. I have to pause, re-read, ponder, read […]

Will it be a Terrific or Terrible Tuesday tomorrow? As we’ve gotten closer and closer to November 8, I’ve noticed my heartbeat starting to race and my blood pressure going up.

He’s not perfect (sorry, sweet tea 😉), but I am convinced he’s perfect for me. It’s his birthday on Monday and […]
